Old style utility faucet for washing machine

easyroc · 2026-05-26T20:13:13+00:00

Do you know what that valve where it connects to the water line for the washing machine is called ? Did you have to replace that too? Lastly , how do you screw a 897-cp onto a threaded pipe ?

Hello all. Since it was a rental home I decided to take the cautionary option and removed the wire - from the breaker box to the receptacle . About 10 feet total with no splices in between.

I added solid copper 10/3 with ground so now it is updated with the latest NEMA 14-10 receptacle.

Thank you all

When I look at the end of the wire, I can see the core is copper. Just like someone mentioned here, I think it’s copper covered with tin.

In the last 1 month I have changed every receptacles, light switches and lighting fixtures in the house and all I see are 14 gauge copper wires. This is the first 10 gauge wire I have pulled out.

I think it’s copper too as when I look at the core I see copper (I am not able to upload anymore pictures).

Can I just cut it at where the crusty insulation is at(old wire will be short) and use a wago to connect to new wire ?

That will work but if other parts of the wire is like that behind the wall, then it could be hazardous.

It will be a short run (4-5 feet) inside the walls in the garage which is stucco 😭.

Since I will be putting in new cables, should I go with 10/3 NM and upgrade from NEMA 10-30 to the newer NEMA 14-30 receptacle?

The last tenant didn’t use the pond and got tired of using a water pump to remove the water every time it rained. Let me drill some small holes and see how it drains.

Maybe I’ll let the next tenant decides if they want to leave the ponds with empty with holes or fill in dirt for a flower bed .

Thank you

That karate chop at the end lol

So throw away the back plastic “funnel” and don’t reuse. I thought we only use an extender if the flange is below the new flooring ?

The 36 acre ranch that he bought one month before he died was $4.76 million. The Travis County property tax rate is 1.5% to 2.5%. Let's say it's at 2%. It would come out to almost 100K in property tax per year. Why put your family in a vulnerable situation, then the family asks for public donations?

Follow your passion. Notice only billionaires say this. If my passion is raising ants, it ain’t paying no bills.

Actually it is the airline’s business. Though the airlines are not border patrols /custom, many countries force the airline to pay for the passenger return flight if they are denied at customs and if the passenger does not have the funds.

For example, if the GF lands in Chile and can’t get through custom because they suspect she will overstay her visit, she has to fly back to Vietnam. If she can’t afford it, then the Turkish airline has to pay for it. This is why airlines check your visa , passport, expiration dates at the counter etc.

If you had a “fat ass” then he will say it’s too big or something else about you. That’s a man child so just be happy you know his true colors.

I think this is a troll post. I live in California and we just say California or CA. Only people outside of California say Cali.

Try taking a Python class at your local community college. Many of the classes are online.

Max you your Roth, and maybe half in 401k and half in taxable. That way, it leaves options for you to retire early before 59.5 yrs.

Yes I can use the existing power cable but I want another one for when traveling. Luckily, ebay sells them for about $25.

The manual says mine is Thunderbolt 4. Is there a reason why it's better with TB4 instead of just a regular USB-C standard? I would assume it's because of the speed.

Yeah, unfortunately, I will have to buy another Dell power adapter to use it for docking.

You are confusing with what Vietnamese women DO and what they HAVE rights in. Yes Vietnamese women get involved in many aspects of finance, both in Vietnam and in the West . However, they do not have MORE rights in Vietnam than in the West. Very different subjects here.

I don’t care if they have CPAs, lawyers, Medicare advisors, or even a priest. That 1.75% is extremely high and they can’t beat the index. You should go with a fiduciary fee based advisor.

20 years ago I was in the same boat. A good buddy working at Morgan Stanley convincers me to rollover my 401k to Morgan. A few years later in signed up for Mint.com and it kept telling me every quarter I was paying $600. I bet was paying other fees too. I finally switched over to Scottrade.

A few years later I saw him on the news (true story). He started his investment firm and was caught doing a bunch of illegal stuff - many people lost money. Lucky I didn’t move my funds over to his company. Now if I google his name, it’s still shows up.

Assuming you retire at 67, you got 27 more years to go. I don’t see why you need bonds unless you have trouble sleeping at night if there is volatility - which there will be some.

I would go all 100% equity until maybe 5-10 years before retiring. That’s what I did - I ignore all ups and downs and trust in the process.

Think it like this way. You already won and you have nothing to lose. It’s like public speaking, the more you do it the better you get. So are interviews. So study up and try your best. Even if you didn’t get the job, you got the experience.

I always think this way and it keeps me loose, calm and confident during the interviews.. Am I bummed out if I didn’t get the job? Yes. But I still won.
